His very first batch that he started on his birthday is ready to drink. In a feat of planning that shows exactly how dedicated Dany "I'll do it later, I swear" Big_girl, he made the world's best lasagna to accompany the American Pale Ale.

The beer tastes like Budweiser, only a bit sweeter and tastier. And a whole lot better smelling. Can't wait for the English Nut Brown.

I haven't finished carbonating my first batch yet, and then I have to let it condition for at least a week. I'm getting tired of waiting. The anticipation is killing me, but everything I've read from other home brewers says the waiting is worth it.
